My invention relates to writing implements, and particularly to a pencil and pen having a receptacle or magazine to receive and support a roll of writing material, the free end of which may be readily projected and retracted from the side of the pencil or pen, so that it.; may be grasped by the user to have any desired amount ,of the paper from the roll withdrawn and torn ofi for the purpose ofhaving notes or any other memorandum written thereon.

v One object of the present invention is to provide such a pencil or pen with an outer barrel or casing and an inner barrel or magazine, the latter being constructed to receive and support a roll of writing material, blotting paper, or other matter.

Another object of this invention is to"provide a positive locking feature for the paper roll to prevent the paper from being unrolled therefrom when the withdrawn end thereof is being torn oif by the user.

Another object is to arrange the barrels for relative rotary movement; for readily side loading place within the pencil or pen.

' silient support for the paper roll.

A still further object is to provide a pencil or pen with a side loading means for the reception of a roll of paper to be written on, a roll of blotting paper, a calendar roll, or any other matter or article which it is desired to carry therein.

With these and incidental objects in view my invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, the essential elements of which are set forth'in appended claims, and a preferred form of embodiment of which is hereinafter described with reference to the drawing which accompanies and forms part of this specification.

v Detailed description My improved pencil is designed to provide the 304 user with writing material upon which he may make notes or memorandum whenever the occasion demands.

The casing of the pencil includes a hollow tip having a shouldered tenon 3| snugly fitted in 3 the lower end of the outer barrel 32 (Fig. 3) and an inner barrel or magazine 33 having one end projecting out of the top of the outer barrel 32 over which end is frictionally fitted a cap 34. The shouldered tenon 3| and the lower inside of the outer barrel 32 may be threaded for the purpose of securing the tip 30 to tlie barrel 32 if desired.

A writing lead 35 projects from the end of the, tip 30. Such lead is carried and controlled by 4 any suitable mechanical means 33 represented herein by--dot and-dash lines. An extra lead magazine 31 may also be inserted in the pencil user may desire to carry therein.

The inner barrel33 has a plug disk. 45 near its upper end tightly fitted therein. v This disk 45 may be made integral with the barrel'33if desired. This disk 45 has a hole 45. through which projects one end of a compression spring 41, the other end of which is snugly fit within a cup 43 adapted to slide in the barrel 33. The

cup 43 has a trunnion 43 to support one end of the paper roll 42. This paper roll 42 may be wound tight to form its own care as shown in Fig. 13 or it may be wound on a separate core 50 indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2.

Tightly fitted in the lower end of the barrel 33 is a plug 53 (Figs. 3, 4, '5 and 7) having a recess a tenon 52 and a tapped hole 53. A pin 54 is also driven in the end of the tenon 52. This plug 53 may also be made an integral part of the barrel 33.

The outer barrel 32 has aplug disk 55 (Figs. 3, 14 and 15) snugly fitted therein and having a hole 35 to receive the tenon 32. This disk'55 -may also be made integral with the barrel 32 if desired. A pin 51 carried by the disk 55 cooperates'with a stop or control plate 33 having a hole 15 to fit over the pin 54 on the tenon 52, and a holev 13 through which projects a screw 11 tapped into the hole 53. a

The" screw 11 has a trunnion 13 to supportthe lower end of the paper roll 42. A C-shaped friction spring 13 (Figs. 9, lo and 12) lies in the recess lit and on top of the plug disk 55 to maintain a constant friction between the two barrels 32 and 33, thus holding the barrels in their normal positions (Fig. 12) and also in any other positions to which-they may be moved by rotation thereof.

The control plate 53 has two shoulders 35 and 35 (Figs. 8 and 12) adapted to contact the pin 31, the shoulder 35 contacting said pin 51 when .the parts are in their normal positions (Fig. 12)

wherein the unopen section of the barrel 33 closes the aperture 4| in the barrel 32, and the shoulder 35 contacting-the pin 51 when both or either of the barrels 32 and 33 have been rotated to a position where both openings 43 and 4| coincide or register withe'ach other for the purpose of reloading the pencil with a new paper roll 42.

\ barrel 33.

When a full roll 42 is in the pencil and the opening 4| in the outer barrel 32 is ciosed by the unopen section of the barrel 33 the parts are thenas shown in Fig. 12. The spring 41 (Fig. 3) forces the cup "43 towards the bottom 'to holdthe roll 42 rotatably on the trunnions 43 and 13, and the'spring 13 creates sufilcient frictionbetween the underside of the head of the screw 11 and the face of the control plate 53 to maintain the barrels 32 and 33 in the positions shown 'in Fig. 12, thus preventing the paper end 31 from being projected from the opening 4|, such end 31 being formed as shown in Fig. 13 and held between the inner surface of the barrel 32 and the outer surface of the barrel 33 between an edge' 33 of the opening 4| of the outer barrel 32. and an edge 33 of the opening 43 of the inner when the user desires to use some of the paper for notes of memorandum the end 31 of the paper may be projectedby rotating either the barrel 35 is indicated at 33.

inner barrel 33. and turns said cap 34 to subj stantially the position shown in Fig. 11, whereupon the paper end 31 is projected as here shown. The user then draws out the required amount of paper after which he rotates the barrel 33 back (to the position shown in Fig. 12 which retracts a small amount of paper and locks the same between the edges 33 and 33. The projected and drawn-out portion of the paper may then be torn 011 against the edge 33 leaving no portion of the paper exposed. t

If the user, after rotating the barrel 33 to the position shown in Fig. 11, whereby the paper end-31 is projected as shown, should decide not to draw any paper from the roll, he merely rotates the barrel 33 back to the position shown in Fig. 12. Such return of the barrel 33 to the position shown in Fig. 12 retracts the paper end 31 back to unexposed position between the edges 33 and-33 and it takes the formation shown in Fig. 13. I

The paper end 31 may be projected and rebarrel 32 may be rotated simultaneously.

In' Fig. 18 I have shownmy invention applied to a fountain pen 35. The outer barrel is designated 35, the inner barrel 31 and the cap 33. The parting line between the cap 93 and the Thebarrels 33 and 31 are constructed-substantially the same as the barrels 32 and 33, and project and retract the paper end-31 from the roll 42 in the manner described above.

While the form of; mechanism herein shown anddescribed is admirably adapted to fulfill the objects primarily stated, it is to be understood that I do not intend to limit or confine my in.
